  • Abstract:
  • This study presents an experimental investigation into the thermal performance of Porotherm walls incorporating organic Phase Change Materials (PCMs), heat transfer characteristics were evaluated under different temperature conditions, with and without plywood insulation. Results indicate that the Porotherm wall with Palm Wax and plywood insulation achieved the highest temperature drop (9.22% more than plain porotherm wall), followed by the wall with Soy wax with plywood insulation achieved 7.54% more than plain porotherm wall. Palm Wax demonstrated superior thermal regulation due to its higher latent heat capacity, while plywood insulation further improved thermal resistance. This experimental investigation confirms the effectiveness of PCM-integrated Porotherm walls in reducing indoor temperature fluctuations and minimizing energy consumption. Future research should explore optimized PCM thickness and alternative insulation methods to enhance energy efficiency in sustainable building applications.
